"The Matrix" involves a lot of professional knowledge of computers, philosophy, theology, and atheism. Although Xu Cun remembers all the lines in it, there is a gap of nearly thirteen years between now and 1998, and in order to make "The Matrix" " is partial to Chinese Xu Cun and has to make some adaptations of "The Matrix", so Xu Cun invited a group of experts from all over the world to be consultants for "The Matrix".

The process of Xu Cun creating the script of "The Matrix" is quite simple. He almost copied the scripts of the original "Matrix" trilogy, and then asked a large number of experts he invited to find fault with the aspects they could relate to. ——Xu Cun didn't even change the name of the character in "The Matrix".

actually--

It's not that Xu Cun doesn't want to change the name of the character in "The Matrix", but that he really can't.

Because, the names of many characters in "The Matrix" have profound meanings.

For example:

Neo/Thomas Anderson: In Hebrew, Thomas means twins. This symbolizes Neo's usual dual identities: one is the programmer Thomas Anderson, and the other is the hacker Neo. Anderson means "son of man" in Hebrew, which is exactly the identity of Jesus. The three letters that make up Neo (Neo) can form "one" after the order is reversed, which means that he is the savior "TheOne" who saves mankind. The original meaning of the word "Christ" in Hebrew is "the appointed one" - The One.

Morpheus: In Greek mythology, Morpheus is the god of dreams with the ability to change dreams. In the movie, Morpheus is the guide who awakens people from the dreamlike illusory world.

Trinity: Trinity means "Trinity". In Christianity, "Trinity" refers to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the book "The Interpretation of Dreams", the foundational work of modern psychology, the "Trinity" refers to the female consciousness, who can enter the mysterious territory and the perfect realm.

Prophet (Oracle): The original Greek word for Oracle is to dispel confusion and transmit and explain God's prophecy. It can be a person, a place, or an object. These prophecies are usually vague, a distortion of reality, so the people who can explain them must be very wise, but even they can't guarantee that the prophecy is correct. The purpose of the prophet is to guide the believers with the vague vision he sees, but he cannot help them make decisions. The decision itself depends entirely on people's subjective wishes.

Smith: Smith in English means blacksmith, and his license plate number is IS5416, all of which imply religious meanings. In the fifty-fourth chapter of the "Bible Isaiah", it is said: I made the blacksmith who blows coals and forges suitable tools; I also made the blacksmith who injures and destroys. This is alluding to Agent Smith's role in the matrix system - to eliminate all abnormal programs that endanger the operation of the matrix.

etc……

The Wachowski brothers named the characters with such profound meanings, how can Xu Cun change them?

Therefore, Xu Cun directly copied the name of the main character.

"The Matrix" is a very complicated movie, and it will have different understandings from different angles.

The intention of Xu Cun to invite a group of expert consultants was to ask them to help him find faults, but Xu Cun finally got the result that these expert consultants almost did not fight because of arguments, only those computer experts (including several internationally renowned Hackers) raised some doubts about computing-most of these doubts were a thirteen-year generation gap in the computing field.

After resolving these doubts, Xu Cun consulted two Yixue masters, added a little metaphysics to "The Matrix", and obtained the scripts of the "Matrix" trilogy. The script was locked in his own safe, and then he started looking for actors according to the script of the first part.

There are only a dozen or so actors in the first part of "The Matrix". Since he has already made up his mind to use "The Matrix" to help the Chinese compete on the world stage, these dozen or so actors must be Chinese. At least the main actor must be Chinese.

The first Chinese actor Xu Cun selected was Yang Ziqiong.

Yang Ziqiong can be said to be the number one female hitter in the world. If she plays Trinity, she must be better than Carrie Ann Moss.

Moreover, Yang Ziqiong's appearance is more recognized by Westerners (in 2009, Yang Ziqiong was selected by the American "People" magazine as the thirty-five beauties in film history), so Westerners should accept Yang Ziqiong more than other Chinese actresses. easier.

The second Chinese actor Xu Cun selected was Zhou Runfa.

In the past two years, Zhou Runfa has acted in more than a dozen movies in a row, many of which have invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in big productions, which is worthy of the phrase "you can't make it again but Zhou Runfa".

But none of Zhou Runfa's roles in the past two years can reach the height of Xiao Ma in "The True Colors of Heroes" and Gao Jin in "God of Gamblers", not even a little bit close to the two.

In other words, Zhou Runfa, who is only thirty years old, has already entered the bottleneck period ahead of schedule.

If Xu Cun didn't help Zhou Runfa, Zhou Runfa would have to be the same as in his previous life, and it would never be possible to break through this bottleneck period.

Zhou Runfa has always remembered Xu Cun's kindness to him, so even Zhou Runfa, a small supporting role in "Zhu Xian", Wan Jianyi, took over.

Xu Cun has never been an ungrateful person.

Therefore, Xu Cun gave Zhou Runfa the very attractive role of Murphys.

The third "Chinese" actor selected by Xu Cun, that is, the first leading actor of "The Matrix" is the son of Bruce Lee... Li Guohao.

Li Guohao was born in California, USA, and lived in Xiangjiang before the age of eight. He received martial arts training from his father Bruce Lee when he was very young. His father Bruce Lee passed away when he was eight years old. School to study film production.

Li Guohao's mother, Linda Emery, is a white American of Irish descent. Therefore, Li Guohao has half white blood on his body. The reason why Xu Cun chose Li Guohao as the first protagonist Neo in "The Matrix" was not because Li Guohao had learned martial arts from his father Bruce Lee, and it was not because Li Guohao had been trained as a professional filmmaker, but because Li Guohao inherited His mother, Linda Emery, has a Western appearance—probably due to Bruce Lee's weak genetics, Li Guohao doesn't look like an Oriental at all.

It is very difficult for the vast majority of people in the West to accept a person of yellow race as the first leading actor in "The Matrix".

With Bruce Lee's relationship, it is much easier for most Chinese to accept that Li Guohao is a Chinese.

Therefore, Xu Cuncai, who was going to be far-fetched, recruited Li Guohao, who was still studying at the Emerson Calle Film School in Boston, to star in "The Matrix".
